Building Confidence and Self-esteem (#S-6460)

How you feel about yourself is directly related to the results you get in your life. Positive self-esteem affects your health, relationships, work performance and attitude towards others. It affects how others see and treat you, the choices you make, and your ability to give and receive love. You can have confidence in what you do and still not feel good about yourself. This class will discuss behaviors that sabotage self esteem and show you how to overcome them. Topics include overcoming codependency, dealing with shame and guilt, and how to handle jealousy, how to eliminate critical self talk as well as how to deal effectively with criticism from others. The class focuses on identifying issues that block self esteem and how to replace them with ideas, tools and coping skills that create confidence and lead to success and personal well-being.

This class will help you identify and understand the dynamics of passive, assertive, and aggressive personalities and show you how to effectively deal with these styles while maintaining your assertiveness. Additionally, the class explains a step-by-step method of how to confront someone effectively and identifies ways to overcome being manipulated, controlled, and intimidated. Understanding these dynamics puts you in control and makes getting what you want clearer and easier.
